Chapter 53: Disclosure of Information
After lying there for a bit, I checked my status.
"Guess she's maxed out again......"
The Sage’s level has maxed out at 99. Considering she just wiped out monsters like that… yeah, totally makes sense. Totally.

Acquired “Skill”: Calculation Acceleration (I) ×2, Magic Enhancement (I) ×1
The total of my stats is up by about 700 to 800... Skills are “Computation Boost” and “Mana Amplification”... Yeah, pretty much as expected... The problem is...
This job skill... "Archive"... honestly, I can't wrap my head around it... I open my hands and try chanting "Archive" in my mind.
If this doesn’t work, I’m done. I don’t know what else to do... Just as I’m thinking that, a glowing board appears right in front of my open palms.
Way bigger than the list board that showed up during the summoning!
The map on the board—it was a world map. Something written in various places... wait, looking closer...
Canada Rank B, USA Rank S
Bolivia Rank C Greenland Rank D
Russia Rank A, China Rank A
Japan Rank B India Rank C
Georgia, Rank D — France, Rank A
UK Rank S, Libya Rank D
Angora Rank C Australia Rank B
Antarctica Rank ■■■
The country name and rank are written here. Some nations appear in a faint, grayish display. The U.S. and Japan are grayed out—those are the places where I defeated monsters... Georgia too, right? Georgia should’ve had its boss monster defeated as well. So if that’s the case, then this means...?
"Monster distribution map! And strength... maybe ranked by difficulty like a dungeon level?"
The U.S. and the UK both have an 'S' rank... those two countries were said to house the strongest monsters. Probably not wrong at all...
This Sage’s职业 skill, "Archive," must be slowly revealing information from this insane world, huh...?
Then I noticed Angora is also grayed out. Angora’s in Africa... someone must’ve beaten the boss monster there? And Antarctica’s data is completely hidden...?
Anyway, this should help decide which country to tackle next. Maybe I’ll head back to Japan and think things over... Then I remembered something.
Oh right—the time I defeated the "Immortal King," there was a "Magic Core" that dropped nearby... This time, since I tamed the Titan instead of killing it, there might not be anything left...?
At the site where I defeated the Titan, there’s a massive crater. But as I approach, I sense something’s there.
"Of course it’s here...!"
I pick up the fallen "Magic Core" and examine it—
SSR
Nullifies all magical attacks
Wait... that’s why my magic didn’t work at all before! This boosts magic defense by up to five times its base value!
Wipe it down with a wet wipe, then go ahead and eat it. Check all my stats... uh-oh...

That’s it… the journey through America’s over… never thought Titan would be that strong… we barely made it this time… gotta be careful picking which nations or monsters to take on… even with skills, you can still die…
Staring at the endless wasteland, I teleported back to Japan, already bracing for the next fight.
That wraps up Chapter Four. I’d be grateful if you’d continue on to Chapter Five.
